April 2, 2014

Meeting to focus on preliminary design concepts and public input

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Northeast Region is announcing a public
involvement meeting to discuss design concepts for a proposed reconstruction of WIS 96 from Lawe
Street to Claribel Street in the city of Kaukauna, Outagamie County. The meeting will be held on
Monday, April 14 at Kaukauna City Hall, 201 W. Second Street, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. A short
presentation will be made at 5:15 p.m.

The project includes reconstruction of the pavement, new curb and gutter, new sidewalks, bicycle
accommodations, and new storm sewer. The project is anticipated to be constructed in 2020. WIS 96
will remain open to local traffic only while through traffic will be detoured. Work is
scheduled for 2020.

WisDOT staff will be available to discuss the project on an individual basis and obtain your
input. We also ask you to share any knowledge you may have about historic buildings and structures,
archaeological sites, septic systems, drain tiles, or drainage problems near the project with the
project staff.

Members of the public are encouraged to attend the meeting to review and discuss the proposed
improvements. WisDOT also asks that citizens please share any questions, comments, or concerns
about the project at the meeting with department staff.
